Chick Chats
PANJSHIR PROVINCE, Afghanistan -- Women across the province meet here monthly with the female members of the Panjshir Provincial Reconstruction Team to learn from each other and exchange ideas. Affectionately known as "Chick Chats," the cultural exchange was the brainchild of the U.S. Agency for International Development representative on the Panjshir PRT as an outreach for the Panjshiri women. Local Afghan female leaders organize and convene the meetings. Panjshir PRT members Tech. Sgt. Grace Herrera and Shahla Hammond pose with local girls at a meeting in Anaba District recently.
